Performance Evaluation Systems for University Facilities (FY2011) School buildings Educational Facilities Research Center, National Institute for Educational Policy Research of Japan Working Group for “The Investigative Research on the Functional Standards of National University Corporations Facilities” Introduction The facilities of National University Corporations, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “national university facilities”) form the basis of educational and research activities. Maintaining and increasing their standard is essential to elevating the level of education and research, and to ensuring safety. The National Government and National University Corporations, etc. (NUCs) are promoting the expansion of educational and research facilities, and the improvement of dilapidated facilities; however, a variety of problems remains at many national university facilities. In “Centers of Knowledge―Approaches to the Development and Enhancement of Facilities at National University Corporations, which Bring a Bright Future for Japan (Interim Report),” which was made public in August 2009, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) indicated that “the Government should support individual corporations’ efforts for effective and efficient development by formulating and disseminating objective and reasonable indices for accurate understanding of facilities’ conditions” as one of the measures to promote systematic facility development. To that end, the Educational Facilities Research Center of the National Institute for Educational Policy Research set up the Working Group for “The Investigative Research on the Functional Standards of National University Corporations Facilities” (Head: Yukio Komatsu, Professor, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University) to study methods to evaluate buildings’ conditions against the performance standards expected of national university facilities. Earthquake resistance capacity index (Is value) and years since construction have been used as indices to indicate the condition of a building. In addition, items such as low-carbon measures, deterioration of parts of the building, living environment for users, and functions supporting education and research are included in this “Performance Evaluation Systems for University Facilities” to form a new index for the comprehensive evaluation of a building’s conditions. In the study process, we analyzed the 13 existing methods of evaluation, including the Comprehensive Assessment System for Built Environment Efficiency (CASBEE), but many of them require a huge amount of time and effort for evaluation or assume new construction or improvement work and are therefore difficult to use as they are. For this reason, we decided to build a new evaluation system by setting evaluation items and standards suitable for the actual situation of national university facilities with reference to these existing methods. After developing a draft version, we conducted trials of the system in cooperation with several universities and other institutions, checked for potential problems in operation of the system, and corrected a part of evaluation items and criteria. We hope that NUCs across the country will use the system as one of the measures to promote the development of national university facilities in the future.

Objective Performance Evaluation Systems for University Facilities (hereinafter referred to as “the Evaluation System”) evaluates the standard of buildings against the functions and the standard expected of facilities of National University Corporations (NUCs; including Inter-University Research Institute Corporations and Institutes of National Colleges of Technology). Evaluation results can be used as one of the grounds for decisions on the refurbishment priority in facility development and also as a tool to understand the development needs of all NUCs. When building the Evaluation System, we were careful to make the system easy to implement so that all NUCs would be able to use it with less burden on evaluators. II. Target of Evaluation The Evaluation System can be used for school buildings (undergraduate school buildings, graduate school facilities, laboratory facilities), university libraries, welfare facilities and dormitories (including international exchange halls and accommodations for researchers), but not for university hospitals, special experiment facilities (RI facilities, animal experiment facilities), or indoor athletic facilities, such as gymnasiums. The term “welfare facilities” here means facilities that have a school cafeteria. The Evaluation System can be used for welfare facilities without a school cafeteria (hereinafter referred to as “other student support facilities”), administration buildings, and other facilities by excluding specific evaluation items from those for similar purposes. 6. Points to Remember in Operation apply to their operation. The targets of evaluation are existing NUC facilities. The Evaluation System may be used even for dilapidated facilities and newly built facilities, regardless of the years since construction. However, the Evaluation System is not applicable to evaluations where change of purpose after refurbishment is assumed, for example, a school building can not be evaluated using the evaluation items for a university library. The Evaluation System is not applicable to cases where the building and major equipment for the supply of power, water, heat, etc. are outside the range of the building that is to be evaluated (ex. energy center of a complex) if not otherwise specified. ●Targets of evaluation - School buildings - University Libraries - Welfare Facilities - Dormitories △Evaluation is possible by adjustment in operation - Other student support facilities - Office buildings etc. ×Not applicable - University hospitals - Special experiment facilities (ex. RI facilities) - Indoor athletic facilities, such as gymnasiums Chart: Applicable and not applicable purposes III. Evaluation Method 1. Applicable Purposes If the building to be evaluated has multiple purposes, conduct evaluation based on the purpose for which the largest floor area is allocated. 2. Evaluation Items i) Evaluation items are divided into “fundamental performance of building” and “performance necessary for the purpose.” ii) Evaluation items include “large items,” “middle items” and “small items,” as listed by purpose in Table 1. List of Evaluation Items. 1 iii) Assess the level for each evaluation item with a weighting of large, middle or small given to each item. The weight coefficient of each item is as listed in Tables 2 to 4. iv) The need for refurbishment is assessed by ranking the overall score obtained through the comprehensive weighting of multiple evaluation items.

Concept of the Evaluation Standard i) The evaluation of each item is made on a 4-point scale where each grade is expressed as “Level X” (X is a digit from 1 to 4). ii) The standard level is “Level 4,” followed by “Level 3,” “Level 2,” and “Level 1” in descending order of performance. iii) The standard level is the level equivalent to the general technical/social level at the time of evaluation. iv) The score of level 4 is 10.0; that of level 3 is 7.0; that of Level 2 is 3.0; and that of Level 1 is 0.0. v) The evaluation standard shall be designed so that the investment effect of large-scale refurbishment is reflected as a higher rating. 4. Concept of Rating Total counts are graded in the following four levels or grades. Conditions corresponding to each grade are exemplified as follows. The relationship between each grade and the total count is given in Table 5. Grade D - There is a problem in low-carbon-related performance, which calls for highly urgent refurbishment - There is a problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, and conformance with the current laws, which calls for highly urgent refurbishment - There is a problem in the operation of the facility that calls for highly urgent refurbishment Grade C - There is a problem in low-carbon-related performance, which calls for urgent refurbishment - There is a problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, and conformance with the current laws, which calls for urgent refurbishment - There is a problem in the operation of the facility that calls for urgent refurbishment Grade B - There is room for improvement in low-carbon-related performance - There is a problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, and conformance with the current laws, which calls for systematic refurbishment. - There is a problem in the operation of the facility that calls for systematic refurbishment Grade A - There is no problem in low-carbon-related performance - There is no problem in seismic capacity, external finish, facility deterioration, or conformance with the current laws; or there is a minor problem that does not interfere with operation. - There is little or no problem in the operation of the facility.

Implementing Evaluation Evaluation is carried out by personnel in charge of facilities of the NUC in principle. Calculation and grading of the total count is made using Forms I-1 to I-4 [Output Overview Sheet] and Forms II-1 to II-4 [Point Breakdown Output Sheet] 5 (*In this English version, Forms I-2 to I-4 and Forms II-2 to II-4 are omitted.) 4 6. Points to Remember in Operation i) Weight coefficient of evaluation items Weight coefficients of large items are established by MEXT in accordance with the basic policy concerning development and enhancement of NUC facilities and may be reviewed as needed in consideration of policy circumstances. If the basic policy is changed due to changes in circumstances surrounding facilities, performance evaluation may be adapted to the new measures by increasing or decreasing the weight coefficients of large items. Where there is no target of evaluation for weight coefficients of medium and small items, make a correction by dividing each of the coefficients by the total, excluding the weight coefficients that have no target of evaluation. ii) Purposes for which evaluation is possible by adjustment in operation Similar purposes and evaluation items to be excluded for the purposes for which evaluation is possible by adjustment are listed in the table below: Purpose Other student support facilities Administration building Similar purpose Welfare facilities School building Evaluation items to be excluded 5.

However, functional deterioration and obsolescence are progressing due to aging in the current severe fiscal situation. In this context, we will identify the functions that NUC facilities should have as facilities to support world-class education and research, as well as functions necessary to handle contemporary issues. At the same time, we will explore methods to examine the level of the existing facilities and develop indices by synthesizing necessary functions in order to contribute to the clarification and efficiency improvement of investments for ensuring and enhancing the functions of NUC facilities. 2 Items to be implemented (1) Study of methods to identify functions and examine the level of existing facilities (2) Study of the status of the indices developed by synthesizing functions (3) Trial of the indices for NUC facilities (4) Other 3 Implementation method The investigative research shall be implemented in collaboration with MEXT Minister's Secretariat Department of Facilities Planning and Administration, and with the help of the academic experts listed below. Help of other stakeholders may be requested as needed. 4 Implementation period Implementation period of the Investigative Research shall be from July 8, 2009, to March 31, 2011. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Attached paper The Investigative Research on the Functional Standard of National University Corporations Facilities (Listed in the order of Japanese syllabary; Honorifics omitted) (Working Group Members) Tatsuya Kishimoto, Associate Professor, Department of System Design Engineering, Keio University ○ Yukio Komatsu, Professor, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University Hiroaki Takai, Senior Manager for the Department of Environmental, Mechanical & Electrical Engineering of Design Management, Takenaka Corporation Kazuhisa Tsunekawa, Lecturer, Mechanical Science and Engineering, Graduate School of Engineering, Nagoya University Hiroaki Namikawa, Director, Facility Environment Department, Kyoto University Hiroyuki Yamaguchi, Advisor, Nagoya University ○ indicates the head (Specialist Working Group Member) Toru Hasumi, Open and Environmental Systems, Graduate School of Science and Technology, Keio University -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Observer: Minister's Secretariat Department of Facilities Planning and Administration, MEXT) Masao Yamazaki, Director, Office for Facilities Planning, National Facilities Division (until July 31, 2010) Takashi Fujii, Director, Office for Facilities Planning, National Facilities Division (from August 1, 2010) Mitsugu Hirota, Deputy Director, National Facilities Division (until July 31, 2010) Yoshihiro Wagatsuma, Deputy Director, National Facilities Division Hideki Takami, Senior Specialist, National Facilities Division (from October 1, 2009, to September 30, 2010) Tsuruhiro Matsunaga, Deputy Director, Office for Facilities Planning, National Facilities Division The following persons were in charge of the project at the National Institute for Educational Policy Research: Koichi Shinpo, Director-General, Educational Facilities Research Center Yoshimi Saito, General Research Officer, Educational Facilities Research Center Tetsuya Yoshida, Chief of the Planning Unit, Educational Facilities Research Center (until March 31, 2010) Fumika Iwashita, Chief of the Planning Unit, Educational Facilities Research Center (from April 1, 2010) 21 (Reference 2) Evaluation System Sheet: Entry Sample 1 [School buildings] (25 to under 40 years since construction) Form I-1 Output Overview Sheet Evaluation Systems for University Facilities [School buildings] I.
